Lu Heintz, creator of the controversial Olneyville trash cans, just relayed this news, from Steel Yard director Drake Patten, via e-mail:

The Steel Yard announced today that artist Lu Heintz’s sculptural trash cans will be installed in Olneyville, the neighborhood for which they were initially intended. The industrial arts-focused non-profit spent many months negotiating a new location for the cans after the original clients were unwilling to accept the cans due to differences between the design concept they approved and the final product.
